The Gift

A collation of environmental ecology with human ecology was the essence of the article. The field of the research included the topics: blending the range of care for ecosystem with the responsibility for our own human nature; presenting a connection between sexuality and procreation concentrated on the gift of marital unity yet protecting the dignity of human procreation; pointing at the areas of human life where the “ecological conversion” takes place.

The Gift

Undoubtedly, the deep pain associated with mitochondrial disease tempts suffering families to grasp at any scientific solution that promises hope. Yet the high stakes do not justify mitochondrial replacement. While biotechnology allows scientists to reconstruct embryos, the serious ethical concerns surrounding this procedure negate its liceity. The gift of human life and its inestimable and irreplaceable value are reduced to a person’s utility as components of a manufactured product. Additionally, the sexual union between a married couple is denied its nature of exclusivity. Finally, those most vulnerable face possible exploitation and experimentation: poverty-stricken women who seek recompense for their sex genes, and preborn children who face the unknown ramifications of germ-line alteration. While compassion drives us to find a remedy for mitochondrial disease, strong evidence suggests that mitochondrial replacement therapy fails to meet this need.

This chapter explores how birth bears on the temporality of human life. Temporally, lived human existence is future-oriented towards death and past-oriented towards birth. When we take our natal orientation towards the past into account, we see that when we project forward and create meaning we are always extending inherited horizons that we have received in and from the past. The chapter also considers whether birth can rightly be said to be a gift given to us by our mothers. Although that view has problems, thinking of birth as a gift illuminates some connections between our natality and the relational setting of our ethical lives and obligations. Finally, the chapter sums up the book’s main theses about how human existence is shaped by the fact that we are born.

The Church

Our life as the Christen in the community ecclesial is the announcement about God, which gives the people the gifts of love, freedom, friendship and truth. Through the forgiveness and the activity of the salvation of God, love and friendship in man’s life makes the human world more divine. This Jesus accents in His proclamation about the kingdom divine, specially in the parables, where He presents the model of the world based on love, hope, faith and freedom as the world of deeds based on God. Therefore, with the power of God’s Spirit, man has to make his life based on the norm of divine, because only in God, with God and through God exists for man the possibility to life now on earth, and afterwards in the future in heaven. In this situation, the answer of the man of faith has to be the motivation to take up the “deed” of the renovation of self-life and the imitation of God. This constitutes as the Christian thought that the central point of the theological interpretation of the value of salvation is realized – hic et nun – as the historical and existential value of the human life in the right of the kingdom divine. The proclamation of Jesus about the “new life”, presents to man the values of the divine existence in the spiritual of the Church. On one hand, it is the gift of freedom and the liberation from sin, where the love of God is absolutely necessary. On the other hand, the “new life” opens for man the space of liberty of life, where God forgives the human offences and the sins, both past and present. Well now the resume of the call to imitate God is the acceptance of the divine gift, which changes the man himself, and all the people, who seek the help and good councils to live the norm divine. These witnesses in the human mentality the consciousness of the existence based on the divine laws, which have in themselves the dimension eschatological.

Der Beitrag untersucht und systematisiert die kirchenrechtlichen Perspektiven des Schreibens Samaritanus bonus über die Sorge an Personen in kritischen Phasen und in der Endphase des Lebens. Dabei wird vornehmlich das Ziel verfolgt, die rechtlichen Dimensionen der Seelsorge an Kranken und Sterbenden in der Verkündigung des Wortes Gottes, in der Feier der Sakramente (vornehmlich Beichte, Krankensalbung und Eucharistie) und der Caritas zum Schutz des menschlichen Lebens zu erfassen. Zugleich wird die damit verbundene Frage erörtert, wie kirchliches Recht als solches auf staatliche Gesetze reagieren kann, die darauf abzielen, durch Suizid und Euthanasie ein Recht am oder gegen das Geschenk des Lebens zu legitimieren. The article examines and systematises the canonical perspectives of the letter Samaritanus bonus on the care of persons in the critical and terminal phases of life. The main aim is to grasp the legal dimensions of pastoral care for the sick and dying in the proclamation of the Word of God, in the celebration of the sacraments (primarily confession, extreme unction and Eucharist) and in caritas for the protection of human life. At the same time, the related question of how ecclesiastical law as such can respond to state laws aimed at legitimising a right to or against the gift of life through suicide and euthanasia is discussed.

Emergence Of Life

The absolute prerequisite of every talent is life itself. The question is how to understand the human life and its origin and the consequences of such an understanding of human life on the reality of talent, its acceptance and realization. The emergence of life can be generally understood in three ways: 1) as a result of a random evolutionary process without any goal and purpose, 2) as a result of its own self-creation (sui generis) and 3) as a result of the intention of an intelligent being which out of the abundance of his life by love gives himself to his creature so that it can attain full, meaningful and happy life. The second possibility we must reject as unrealistic, and the third one we select as the one that provides the best implementation of certain above-average abilities. Jesus' parable of the talents imposes an obligation to the bestowed ones to fully utilize their talents to the size of the gift received. Bury the talent on the country does not show respect to the giver and does not achieve full potential of the bestowed. Paul's speech on the charisma reveals the meaning of the gift as a service to the good of others and the community as a whole, not only personal realization. If the man is of himself or if he is a product of chance he has no responsibility for his talents, no obligations, no duties because he can do whatever he wishes with his talents even to their destruction. Life as a gift and the realization of life through giving has its fundamental basis in God who is Trinitarian relationship of love, giving and communion. (caritas, donum et communio).
